Favorite Vegetable

[LynneSin]

I'm trying to eat more vegetables and I'm come to conclusion that the Snow Pea is the worlds best tasting vegetable. I only had a few dollars for lunch today and they had fresh snowpeas at the store. Microwaved them for about 1.2 minutes and added just a smidge of salt and I'm just loving lunch.

Long live the Snow Pea

Complete disgust in Broccoli.

However, I will add Broccoli when I juice because you can never taste it in juicing

[davidinalameda]

[LynneSin]

15. You're already a terrible person so isn't that a moot point

:eyes:

[progmom]

[ghostsofgiants]

39. Great minds, progmom, great minds.

[mondo joe]

16. Asparagus - pan cooked w lemon and garlic

Broccoli could be next. Same preparation.

[ewagner]

19. Or.....

try broiling it or grilling it while basted with a sauce made of:

1 clove of crushed garlic
1 Tablespoon of Dark Seseme Oil
1 Tablespoon of Soy sauce

Just beofre taking it off the heat, sprinkle the asparagus with Seseme seeds and let them heat for just a few minutes....

It's WONDERFUL!

[Bridget Burke]

27. Broiling is excellent.....

Put the freshly washed & trimmed spears in an oven-proof dish, sprinkle with olive oil, minced garlic & a bit of parmesan. Heat in the oven until done....

(Use the broiler OR roast at a high temp.)

[chaska]

32. OH HELL YEAH! We have a winner. Asparagus, baby!

[ewagner]

34. Nice alternative....

I think I'll give it a try......raining tonight so it's a good time to try to do it here......

[mike_c]

18. snow peas are fruits, as are corn, tomatoes, and squash....

Onions are vegetables, contrary to the post above.

To clear this up once and for all for folks that missed a basic biology class :-) : fruits are reproductive tissues, so if it has seeds inside it's a FRUIT. If it doesn't have seeds it's VEGETABLE tissue.

My current favorite vegie is Swiss chard.

on edit: broccoli is BOTH fruit and vegetable, since it is the flower heads of Brassica-- it contains both reproductive and non reproductive tissue. The reproductive parts are immature, however, so a botanist might argue that they're not fruits yet.

[LynneSin]

25. Maybe in your world - but they're actually a vegetable

http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/5aday/month/peas.htm

Center for Disease Control says it's a vegetable. Snow Peas, along with Sugar Snap peas are all variations of the Green Pea.

So there.

In fact both your squash and corn are listed as vegetables:

http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/5aday/month/index.htm

Although technically if I eat corn, I consider it a starch

[billyskank]

20. Potato!

Potatoes are just ace. I can't get enough of potatoes! And they sound even better in Russian. Don't ask me how to spell it though.

[sakabatou]

21. Red onions

With cream chese and put in a poppy seed bagel. YUM.

[MissMillie]

22. Can't name a favorite--I love so many

asparagas, green beans, beets, spinach, yellow (summer) squash,...


I don't care much for the mushy squashes (butternut, hubbard, acorn, etc)


other than that, I eat most any veggie.

[Shell Beau]

28. I can't pick a favorite.

They are all good. Yummy veggies!

[scarlet_owl]

29. Broccoli.

[dajoki]

35. me too

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

37. me three

[Left Is Write]

31. Hard to choose between broccoli, carrots, and peas...

I also love tomatoes (yeah, I know, they're a fruit), corn (a starch), green beans, and asparagus.

[SarahB]

33. Spinach maybe.

:shrug: I like lots of veggies, but spinach is so versatile and really packed with nutrients.

I looovvvveeee tomatoes too, but I know they're "officially" a fruit and someone's going to have to point that out if I say it. :D

[In_The_Wind]

36. sweet potatoes

a very versatile vegetable

:hi:

[brentspeak]

38. Carrots (raw, not cooked)

[peacebuzzard]

40. Artichoke! Been looking for 3 days in Kew Gardens and Flushing. No where

to be found. So I have been eating avocados -- 1 a day lately.
I am also on an asparagus kick....Italian style....w/ garlic, onion, tomato and olive oil

[Kathy in Cambridge]

41. AsparaGAS: makes my pee smell funny

I also like broccoli, sweet potatoes, and chard.
